1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute

Description

This 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a 442 tribute that has a dark intimidating style and a fresh 455ci V8 to back up this attitude. And when you see a total package with A/C comfort, a Bluetooth radio, and four-wheel disc brakes, you realize this mean-looking hardtop is quite nice to cruise.

The 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass is already a great-looking car. The extra wide headlights gave these a stern appearance that looked like they owned the road. It gets turned up a notch with the full dark side makeover. Black paint with black bumpers to match is quite intimidating. And the Ridler wheels are not only also done in black, but they also have an 18/20-inch front/rear stagger for a powerful stance. The fastback hardtop lines, polished dual exhaust tips, and big rear spoiler all are part of this seriously mean style. But while they invested nicely to make this an aggressor, take some time to really see everything that was done. You can tell that the black paint was applied with a professional hand because of the clean and shiny style. And there are thoughtful details that are stylish while making this a better driver. It includes the upgraded clear headlights and the low profile sport tires that give this classic a modern sense of grip. It signals that this 442 tribute is nice for all-around driving.

The interior upholds the 442's original goal of being both powerful and luxurious, and it does it with the right upgrades. For example, the switch to black happened later in life, but it looks like they used the proper Olds-style patterns. You'll invite plenty of family and friends along for a ride, and this knows how to keep them comfortable with upgrades like cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, tinted glass, and an AM/FM/CD stereo featuring Bluetooth. The driver's seat has a terrific vintage muscle car feel with a center console, floor shifter, classic three-spoke steering wheel, and sporty round gauges. Plus, well-placed auxiliary readouts under the dash are always welcomed in a car that's meant for driving.

Under the hood is exactly what you want to see. After all, the 442s were all about power, and so when creating a tribute, it's hard to deny this one the upgrade to the big 455ci Rocket V8. And the reason why this powerhouse looks so clean and tidy is that we're told it was installed only about 150 miles ago! There are nice driver upgrades like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and a newer battery. It fires up eagerly like you want in a fresh powerhouse, the idle is smooth, and it makes a sweet big V8 tune out of the H-pipe dual exhaust. And the investments in upgrades mean a sharper driver that includes a recently rebuilt front end, Bilstein shocks, power steering, a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors.
